About Us

Bead Soup started as a passion.

I have been beading small crystal balls in Japanese patterns for quite a while. I’ve sold my items to local buyers at craft fairs, to friends and to family and in the summer of 2006 started to expand my work. My items were carried in a small shop in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and the reviews were overwhelming.

This experience was the catalyst that really prompted me to start this web site and open a small bead shop. I have been constantly improving the size, complexity and variety of my Japanese bead designs and now many of these designs are taught at my store which is located in Savage Mill, Maryland

I hope you enjoy this site and my products as much as I enjoy making them. As always, any comments or suggestions are welcomed. Check our frequently asked questions page for answers to common questions.

Yours,
